The 2018 Brisbane International was a tournament on the 2018 ATP World Tour and 2018 WTA Tour. It was played on outdoor hard courts in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. It was the tenth edition of the tournament and took place at the Queensland Tennis Centre in Tennyson. It was held from 31 December 2017 to 7 January 2018[1] as part of the Australian Open Series in preparation for the first Grand Slam of the year. Rafael Nadal and Andy Murray were about to start their 2018 seasons at the tournament, but both withdrew due to continuous injuries.[2][3] On 5 October 2017, defending champions Grigor Dimitrov and Karolína Plíšková announced they would also compete.[4]
